“I am deeply committed to doing what I can to improve the wellbeing of those at risk of developing depression, or those who already struggle with depression. Given how many unanswered questions there are in this field, pursuing a doctoral degree means that I am able to answer a few of those questions. By contributing to this field, I hope to be able to improve our understanding of the factors related to the development, maintenance, and recurrence of depression.”
– Ellen Jopling, PhD Student in Clinical Psychology
